New galleries: Helsinki Samba Carnaval 2012 – Parade and Baile do Carnaval
22. Helsinki Samba Carnaval was arranged last weekend 15.-16.6.2012. This was the 10th year when I was photographing the Helsinki Samba Carnaval
First years were just for fun, but last four years I have been taking photos for the The Association of Finnish Samba Schools (SSKL). As official photographer I had the benefit that I could move freely within the parade area. Here are two fast galleries from the carnival: Parade and Baile do Carnaval. I will update these galleries in July.
This parade was also National Championships of Finnish samba schools. Império do Papagaio won the competition. Congratulations!
